Abstract:
In this thesis I will discuss the history of the Affordable Care Act that was passed by President
Obama in 2010, the history of Planned Parenthood and its current usage, and what, if any, effects
the two have had on the ability of young adults in America to access birth control. The issue of
reproductive rights is one that is important to me, therefore my thesis advocates for the support
of government-funded birth control and disagrees with President Trump's current attempts to
repeal the Affordable Care Act bill. I also talk about my personal experience at Planned
Parenthood as an example of the positive impact the organization is making for college adult
women.
